Mako's POV

Ever since Korra admitted to both Asami and her situation at home, we started taking turns taking care of her. Some weekends she would spend it at the Sato mansion and others at my place. Asami also would spend as many weekdays as she could over at my girlfriend's house to keep her safe. This weekend was my turn and she was curled up next to me, holding my scarf tightly in her grasp. She had forgotten her bear at Asami's house, but she would pretty much hold anything as long as we were with her.

It was early Saturday morning and it was raining outside. Korra had arrived around midnight last night, and she was still sleeping. Her light breathing was all that was heard in my room and I turned on my side to look at her and gently rubbed my thumb against her cheek. She stirred and shuddered a little.

"Mako," she muttered.

"Hmm?"

"I'm cold."

I got up and threw another blanker over her form. We didn't have a heater and it was usually cold in my room, but since I was fine with it I never cared for it until Korra started to come over and nearly froze each time. As soon as I lay down, she snuggled closer to me and I pulled her closer to my person. I glanced at the clock: 10am. I chuckled and she groggily opened her eyes and tried sending me a glare which made me laugh.

"What's so funny?" she mumbled.

"You're really pushing it today," I answered playing with her hair. "It's already 10."

"The morning is evil," Korra reminded me.

I rolled my eyes playfully and Korra simply grumbled incoherently before burying her face onto my chest. I chuckled again causing her to laugh a little too. She pulled away and played with my scarf. I noticed a faint bruise above her left eyebrow. I moved her hair back to get a closer look, earning a flinch from my girlfriend. It was still tender. My expression must have showed the anger I felt because she placed her hand against my cheek.

"I'm okay," she reassured.

I sighed heavily. It was still hard for Korra to talk about what went on at home, but sometimes she would talk about it. The injury wasn't too serious, which was probably why she hadn't gone into further detail. I placed my hand on top of hers before pulling her close to me so that our foreheads touched. A small blush appeared on her cheeks making me smile.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked.

"I'm going out with Asami later," Korra said. "But we won't take too long; she has a date with Iroh."

Both Asami and I had dedicated our time on keeping Korra safe. It was easier for me than it was for her, since Korra was my girlfriend, which is why after we practically begged her, she ended up giving Iroh a break and went out with him. Iroh was very understanding, we didn't tell him what was going on but I didn't doubt he had put the pieces together.

"Wanna go out after?" I asked.

Korra grinned broadly and nodded. I chuckled and captured her lips with a kiss.

Asami's POV

Korra and I had lunch together at our favorite place. Well it was lunch for me and breakfast for her because she had just woken up not that long ago. She was wearing dark blue Levis, black and white converse, and one of Mako's long sleeved shirts. It must have been an old shirt because it didn't fit her too big. We talked about many things, mostly about her relationship with Mako, but also about Senna. They both had been growing sort of close over time and I was happy. I had a feeling Korra was slowly and probably unconsciously seeing Senna as a mother figure. I grabbed my purse and got up.

"Come on. There's one last stop we need to make."

She raised a brow at me. "And where exactly are we going?"

I simply smiled and impatiently waited for her to get up. "You'll see, now come on." She sighed but did as she was told and we hopped into my car. The younger girl really didn't like being kept in the dark but I knew she'd like the surprise.

I was right of course because as soon as we pulled into the lot I saw her eyes light up. "Asami! We haven't been here in forever!"

There was a fond memory tucked away in this place. And where was 'here' you might ask. It was the one place I loved to go to when something was bugging me. It was the one place where I could show my skills. The racetrack.

I remembered the first time Korra and I came here. I'd taken Korra here for her thirteenth birthday. I'd told her I wanted to take her somewhere and I could see some hesitation in her eyes. Take the girl shopping one time on a huge spree and suddenly you can't be trusted. But once I'd shown her this place and let her ride in the passenger seat...let's just say I'd never seen her so excited.

So this place grew to mean a lot more to me than it had before.

"Can I drive this time, Asami?" she asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I have her an incredulous look. "You're joking right?"

"Hey, I'm not that bad of a driver!" she replied indignantly.

I have her a smug look. "Who's the one that crashed into Mako's truck?"

"That was so his fault," she grumbled stubbornly. But I knew I'd just won.
